Action was joined with the board reading on the turn. From the button, Gianny Morano bet 25,000. Paul Tedeschi raised to 85,000 from under the gun. Morano waited a bit before three-betting all in.
Tedeschi sighed and frowned before calling after a few seconds. Morano tabled the set which was crushing the of Tedeschi.
The river came the meaningless and just like that the French pro was gone
Hielke Jaarsma moved all in preflop and was called by Peter Da.
Hielke Jaarsma:
Peter Da:
It was a classic flip that saw Da take the stranglehold lead when the flop came . The turn was the to leave Jaarsma drawing dead as the on the river gave him a useless two pair and he was eliminated.
